Loving, Snuggly, Grateful

This pretty young tabby has hints of gold in her coat, and her hind legs are solid black, like she’s just pulled on her stockings!

Pepper just wants to be LOVED. She is a big lap cat who likes to be right next to you if she can’t be directly ON you. During the day she’ll follow you around like a little shadow, and at night she’ll be tucked in beside you.

She’s a laid-back girl who, once she’s settled, doesn’t spook easily. You can pick her up any which way and even trim her claws without fuss. She’ll play with her favorite “stringy” toy for a bit, but mostly she’s content to relax. She was living outdoors, and is grateful now that she knows how glorious it feels to be safe and loved.

Pepper would do best as a companion for a homebody who’s missing a little love in their life. She’ll give you so much love, in fact, you’ll need no other pet (just the way she likes it!). She’s happiest in a calm, quiet home where she can focus on loving you.

Give her time, space, and a warm lap, and she will soon be bursting with purrs! All she wants is a calm, soft-spoken person to love who will love her back. She truly gives her heart completely.

Reach out to meet this darling cat!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
